Prepare A Plan For Each Type Of Disaster
Notice that many of these ideas listed below are interchangeable between disaster types. Also, this is not meant to be an all-inclusive list; you will need to determine what is best for your business.
- Fire
- Tornado
- Hurricane/Flooding/Blizzard
- Looting/Civil Disobedience
As you build your disaster plan, you should leave room for it to grow and your plan should be reviewed and tested by your team at least annually. In the event you must put the plan into action, you will be thankful you took the time to carefully and thoroughly prepare in advance.
